Melissa Moran
Piper was raised in a cult. She just doesn't know it.
Seventeen-year-old Piper knows that Father is a Prophet. Infallible. The chosen one.
She would do anything for Father. That's why she takes care of all her little sisters. That's why she runs end-of-the-world drills. That's why she never asks questions. Because Father knows best.
Until the day he doesn't. Until the day the government raids the compound and separates Piper from her siblings, from Mother, from the Aunts, from all of Father's followers - even from Caspian, the boy she loves.
Now Piper is living Outside. Among Them.
With a woman They claim is her real mother - a woman They say Father stole her from.
But Piper knows better. And Piper is going to escape.

Editor's Pick
Some backstories are darker than others
"There’s something so morbidly fascinating about cults. As the nonfiction editor here at Audible, I’ve listened to my fair share of nonfiction stories about these kinds of groups, but never really made the plunge into fictional accounts. Told in a dual timeline, this debut from Meghan Cooley Peterson was dark and suspenseful, with just the right amount of intrigue and emotion—which was only amplified by Melissa Moran’s performance. And, it’s paired with a deeply personal and touching author’s note at the end of the story.Anyone interested in cults or the deprogramming that occurs after leaving would be doing themselves a disservice to skip this one."
—Michael C., Audible Editor

Tremendous story

The ending is sad and beautiful and I'm relieved because I wasn't sure she was going to get there.
The thing about cults is their clear hypocrisy. You can't blindly trust anyone, except me, the Cult Leader. You can't have sex or worldly possessions. But I can because I'm the Cult Leader. You must suffer and starve but I need my strength to lead you idiots. The hypocrisy is so blatant but they explain everything away. I get so angry. Don't you??
Anyway...it brought me to tears in the end and I recommend it if you can get through the Rollercoaster of emotions.
Good but...

I absolutely LOVED Melissa Moran’s narration of this book. I will look for more books read by her.

I’ve read several true cult stories (such as Jonestown), as well as read about the psychology of them. This novel puts a relatable human face to those types of situations. I was also impressed at how the situations were laid out without feeling like they were associated with any particular “real world” group or cult, thus giving a feeling of relatability without the probability of ruffling any feathers.
The story is well written, accessible for a wide range of reader experience, and I highly recommend.
**Some Spoilers**
The descriptions of how Piper felt during her experiences and memories was very well described. As someone who has dissociative moments in my life, I started unexpectedly connecting with Piper and also relooking at my own ways I have tried to deal with it in the past. So if you get this book and find yourself struggling to listen to it because of the subject matter relatability, please seek someone to safely and healthily help you. You are not alone.
Deeper and More Constructive Than I Expected
